State Budget Address

Not surprisingly, the first bit of news on the FY11 Illinois State Budget is grim. As proposed, all of SU’s grants will be eliminated;the rest of our state funding will see a 2.5% reduction; and the state will start paying us a month and a half later than they already are. Illinois is in a terrible financial status, but hopefully things will improve for us as the budget process proceeds. The people we serve and their families rely upon us.
